I keep writing in here but marking everything private because it all winds up feeling the same.
I made the decision to go back to New Balance shoes because those always worked for me in the past. I had tried Brook’s which were ok but I had to break them in and they still didn’t feel like they gave me the right support. I then tried Hoka which hurt right out of the gate and I was too lazy to return them so now I’m stuck with trying to resell them.
So it’s been a few years since I bought New Balance for myself. Well I look spent about 45 mins going back and forth finally pulled the plug and bought a pair. They got here yesterday and fucking hurt right out of the box again. And not in a I need to break them in hurt. In a cutting circulation off way.
I’ve never need wide width before but when I then looked further into the reviews a lot of people were complaining about them being narrow.
I’m just tired I know it’s a dumb thing to complain about but this task now will take up even more mental energy because I had to go look up the order info. Put in for a return, will have to pack it up again and take it to the store. I then also lose out 5.00 on the refund too. And I’m no further ahead in finding a pair of shoes to wear. I need something to walk in.
So then I also went into a local rack room shoes and tried on a bunch of new balance shoes and they all were hurting my feet except one pair. So I guess I order those and see. Or there’s a running store here locally too that you pay a fee to have them analyze your foot and suggest the best shoes for you. But that costs about the amount of a pair of shoes on top of shoes.
See I’ve already now invested so much mental energy into this task that it’s stupid.
But then I Need to stop myself because I think about the real shit that some people I know are going thru and this is a dumb thing to be hyper focused on. I’d take doing this task everyday for a year over the challenges some of them are facing.
So I just need to take a step back and focus on something else.
I haven’t gotten anything done today really I need to figure out what I’m cooking next week to make the grocery list for tomorrow.
It’s just been a rainy day. One that staying in bed or napping on the couch sounds like the best idea.
Anyways I probably shouldn’t sit on here blabbing all afternoon and at least get one thing done before I crash out on the couch.
